Ezra, Yes. Products not covered by the FPLA may currently be packaged and labeled in metric-only units of measurement.and may be sold legally in all USA states and territories with metric-only units of measurement on those labels, if all other labeling requirements are met.
By copy to Kenneth Butcher I am asking the OWM of NIST to confirm this understanding.

Consumer Commodities under federal (FPLA) jurisdiction must still be labeled in dual (SI and US Customary) Units of measurement. Jurisdictions, state only, or federal (e.g.FTC, FDA, USDA, EPA, etc.) are specified in NIST Handbook 130; downloadable free of charge. Amendment of the FPLA is still needed so that *all* consumer commodities may be labeled in metric-only units of measurement!
